Peter Hook<\/a> is enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of not just one but two legendary bands \u2014 Joy Division<\/a> and New Order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both of those acts were actually elected as part of a very rare co-induction earlier this year, which voters deemed appropriate since both bands share three of the same members. (We actually disagree with that reasoning and feel like the two acts \u2014 especially the all-time great Joy Division \u2014 were musically distinct enough to warrant separate inductions. Overall, however, we\u2019re just glad both of them got in.)<\/p>\n

Hook<\/a>, one of the coolest bassists to ever rock a stage, is one of those artists who belonged to both bands and he\u2019s still doing justice to the mighty Joy Division and New Order songbooks during his regular tours.<\/p>\n

Each of the road shows have a different focus and this time around the bassist and his troupe \u2014 collectively dubbed Peter Hook and the Light<\/a> \u2014 are performing New Order\u2019s \u201cGet Ready\u201d in its entirety at each show.<\/p>\n

While it should be entertaining to hear all of that 2001 comeback album \u2014 which marked the synth-pop act\u2019s first release since \u201cRepublic\u201d in 1993 \u2014 we\u2019re much more interested in catching the great Joy Division post-punk cuts that will also make the setlist.<\/p>\n

In other words, Joy Division > New Order \u2014 all day long.<\/p>\n

Peter Hook and the Light performs Sept. 21 at the Warfield in San Francisco and Sept. 22 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. Showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets start at $61 at the Warfield, axs.com<\/a>. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets start at $56.14 at the Mountain Winery, mountainwinery.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
